Slush Rush Sandslash operating in Hail with Toxapex is much better.

But they are both good.

A-Ninetales is a biblical beast, Snow Warning + Aurora Veil is a godsend. Access to moves like Freeze Dry and Moonblast makes her even better.

Mamo and Weav are pretty good. These three are probably the holy trinity of Ice.

Is Froslass any good this gen? Destiny Bond got nerfed, but it's still fast and it learns WoW now.

Frosslass was a beast pre-bank, it outran almost every legal Pokemon in the game so it was always guaranteed at least one kill as well as a couple burns and spikes on the field.

Icium-Z Kyurem-B is easily the best Ice type in Gen 7 OU.

Kyurem-W and Arceus-Ice are objectively the most powerful Ice types though.

Ice Shard is a legit option, possibly been equal amounts of time where I have wished I had it over Encore so its personal preference.

Alolan Ninetales is incredible on paper.

> Aurora Veil tilts the game in your favour to a ludicrous degree
> Fast Ice / Fairy to set it
> Moonblast and Blizzard are powerful
> Freeze-Dry for Water types, absolutely destroys Pelipper and Kingdra
> Can revenge kill Kingdra
> Good user of Encore

It's an offensive support with amazing potential. Unfortunately, the low Special Attack, rock weakness, and decline of Kingdra rain lessen its usefulness.

Aurora Veil is debatably worth the teamslot though.

Smogon doesn't decide who goes in what tier, idiot. It's based on how much it's used. They only decide bans.

Weavile, it might not take a lot of hits. But it's good a giving them. Not to mention he's immune to pranksters now. So Weavile always made the ice types look good.
